Fun with Midjourney

Following on from yesterday's experimentation with Grok, after hearing about Midjourny's latest features on This Weeek in Startups while having breakfast this morning, I thought it might be fun to take Midjourney for a quick spin. After installing it, I asked it to give me it's impression of me drinking my morning coffee on the balcony with a forest in the background at sunrise. That's essentially exactly what I was doing. Here was Mdjourney's rendition:
Very impressive, but I have to say in this case reality was much more beautiful than the AI mind's eye.
After drinking my coffee, I went inside and sat with my friend and her two wonderful kids having breakfast. Here was how Midjourney thought we looked:
This was greeted with much hilarity by the gang. My friend was a little upset that her AI imagined self looked older than me. I tried to update the prompt, but Midjourney held me to ransom, asking me to signup for a yearly or monthly subscription.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Might try again tomorrow :) #
